Republican presidential candidates lining up for 2016 are eager to flaunt their support for the Second Amendment, whether its by speaking to pro-gun groups, talking up their own experience with guns or literally posing with firearms. But the latest issue the presidential contenders are tackling is how far they would extend gun rights and how easy it should be to carry a firearm in public.
Expanding where people can carry guns and how concealed or open has become a controversial issue between gun owners and groups attempting to put limits on their rights. Pro-gun activists argue that having people carry arms would better protect them from potential shootings, while others cite research showing more guns would lead to more violence. |

The obvious point Ms. Lerner misses is criminals can - and demonstrably do - "carry" everywhere, regardless of state or local law. Does she feel law-abiding armed citizens of proven good character pose a greater threat to the public than armed criminals ? More likely she's wedded to the MSM's "three monkeys" version of firearm reality. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
